Diving right in, the 0 SUV is the larger of the two and features a raked windshield and low roofline for a sleek silhouette. Its front fascia includes a black panel with pixelated headlights, an illuminated Honda badge, and a prominent bumper vent for battery cooling. A two-tone finish, with a black roof, enhances its visual appeal. The side windows rise dramatically at the rear, creating a thick D-pillar, while the rear U-shaped taillight wraps around a narrow windshield, emphasizing its unconventional design.

Meanwhile, the 0 Saloon serves as the flagship of Honda’s 0 Series. Building on the design of its predecessor concept revealed at CES 2024, it remains true to the “thin, light, and wise” philosophy. Its sporty wedge-shaped styling and low stance give it a dynamic appearance, aligning with its forward-thinking ethos.

Inside, both models share a tech-focused interior dominated by screens. The dashboards feature a digital instrument cluster, central touchscreen, front passenger display, and side-camera monitors. Physical controls are minimal, limited to stalks behind the yoke-style steering wheel. The 0 SUV’s seats appear closer to production-ready, while the Saloon sports a striking illuminated glass centre console.

Those with a keen eye will notice that both of these concept vehicles, while sporting revolutionary styling, still bears the A pillar design cue present on other contemporary Honda models.

Honda also introduced ASIMO OS, a new operating system named after its iconic robot, which will power the 0 Series. The prototypes are equipped with a steer-by-wire system, but further technical details remain under wraps. Production is set to begin in 2026 at Honda’s EV Hub in Ohio. The 0 SUV will launch first in early 2026, followed by the 0 Saloon later that year. Both models are expected to spearhead Honda’s electric future in North America and potentially other global markets with a strong impetus on zero emissions vehicles.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
